Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Like the three earlier volumes of the Brixton Brothers series, this chapter book takes the adventure and plotting
of an old-school (think Hardy Boys) series mystery and overlays it with deadpan, offbeat humor. The
occasional full-page drawings help define the characters, settings, and tone of the story. Wildly improbable
and reliably entertaining."--Booklist

"Full of excitement and danger, of narrow escapes and unexpected twists, while also being one of the funniest books of its kind ever written."--Dave Eggers, author of The Wild Things and cofounder of 826 National

"Barnett's coolly hysterical sendup of the Hardy Boys...and Rex's tongue-in-cheek black-and-white illustrations...will entertain all who have outgrown the originals. Pray for sequels."--Kirkus Reviews

"Barnett's second Brixton Brothers mystery continues the whimsically sardonic adventures of everyone's soon-to-be-favorite clueless-yet-earnest boy detective-wannabe. Shot through with moments of goofiness and dotted with Rex's black-and-white illustrations, this is sure to please existing fans and win new ones."--Kirkus Reviews

"An amusing addition to the Brixton Brothers series."--Booklist

In this hilarious takeoff on "Hardy Boys"-style mysteries, a young wannabee sleuth gets more than he bargained for when he finds himself pitched into a wild round of stunning revelations - about books, espionage, and librarians. Rex's deadpan illustrations perfectly complement one of the funniest and most promising series openers in years.--School Library Journal

"Action! Adventure! Humor! Mac Barnett has written a book kids will devour."--Jeff Kinney, author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid

"This is the craziest, funniest book you will ever read all year. What are you waiting for?"--Jon Scieszka, the first National Ambassador for Young People's Literature

"One of the funniest and most promising series openers in years."--School Library Journals

"A smart, amusing mystery, this promising first novel is a fine start for the Brixton Brother series."--Booklist

Reseña del editor:

A twelve-year-old sleuth goes undercover—and underwater—to tackle three cases in this hilarious Brixton Brothers mystery.

It’s a routine case...

...or at least as routine as a cases get when you’re a twelve-year-old private detective who’s been sleuthing for just a few months: Steve Brixton must don a neon wetsuit and work undercover to retrieve a stolen surfboard.

But when the assignment goes all wrong, Steve finds himself caught inside mysteries involving wild surfers, pirate smugglers, thick-necked goons, and a sixth-grader who can’t find his gym shorts.
